Do you really think that is a good way to learn a language, or learn vocabulary?

Yes, it is how I learned French. A core vocabulary has to be learned first. My wife helps me with context.
So when you need to use Thai, you just look up the words you need from your lists, one at a time, from English to Thai, string them together then hope it works?
God no ! I learn as many words as my old brain allows and the use them in proper speech. I have to learn may words parrot fashion before I can say anything.
